Tailgating Texas A&M vs. Montana St. - Meet Our Team - This Saturday

This Saturday!! (that's tomorrow), September 1 from 2:00 until ???whenever???

Limousine transportation (no not vans misrepresented as limousines, but a real limousine) from the Keller William's parking lot (across from Blockbuster on University Dr. just behind the Bryan-College Station Visitor's Bureau across Tarrow from the Hilton) hopefuly it will run every 30-45 minutes from 2:00 PM until 11:00 PM or about an hour after the game.

Join The Smith Team in front or beside the Heep building (on West Campus) for a HUGE tailgating par-tay!

Bring the kids, bring your friends, bring your dogs...if you're reading this, you're invited. Don't get left out. It's going to be fun.
We will be eating, drinking, watching TV, playing games, visiting, cheering for the home team and getting marooned.

So, anyone who's anyone will be there. Join us this Saturday. Don't be sad if you can't come. We'll be there every Saturday before the home games having a blast.

It's soon to be the newest tradition in Aggieland. If it's done more than once at Texas A&M it becomes tradition so that means we're well on our way to becoming one. What an honor!

I promise you won't be disappointed!

You should come if you're an Aggie because well, you just want to because you've all tailgated and know how much fun it is. You should come if you're not an Aggie because it will make you want to be one. Seriously, Aggies are the best fans in the world and know how to put on a pregame party, a postgame party, a victory party, a celebration party, a consolation party...Aggies just know how to celebrate football season and fall is here...so, come on over to our tents and have a bite to eat. Say hello and let the kids run around a little bit.



If parking scares you, drive to the Keller Williams parking lot across from Blockbuster and The Smith Team limo will take you to tailgate in high style. Seriously, just show up and wait for the limo. If it makes you feel better and you are planning on taking the limo, you can comment here or call my cell (979) 412-0442 or Andrew's cell at (979) 777-7677. I promise, you won't get left behind. We're ready!

See you there!


GIG 'EM AGS!!!

Back to School


As the summer comes to a close (although it sure doesn't feel like it). This month is typically about Back to School. In honor of comedian Rodney Dangerfield for his famous role in the movie Back to School, I've selected to feature a few of his quotes and one liners in The Smith Team Service 4 Life newsletter. If you're not currently receiving it and would like to be added to our mailing list please email me at Andrew@AndrewSmithTeam.com

Also, should you or anyone you know have any real estate needs or even anyone thinking about getting into the business, we'd love to help.

All right, here are the quotes! ~ Enjoy!
A girl phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.

I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.

I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.

I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.

I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.

I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.

I met the surgeon general - he offered me a cigarette.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.

I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. he told me to wear a brown tie.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.

I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot.

I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

I worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get.

I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.

I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going.

If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.

It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass.

Life is just a bowl of pits.

Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.

Most of the arguments to which I am party fall somewhat short of being impressive, knowing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about.

My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock.

My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.

My mother had morning sickness after I was born.

My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.

My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.

My uncle's dying wish - he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair.

My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.

My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it.

My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home.

My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive.

My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.

My wife's jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

One year they asked me to be poster boy - for birth control.

Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt. Because in every room he leaves a pyramid.

The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

They change the sheets every day... from one bed to another.

This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me.
We sleep in separate rooms, we have dinner apart, we take separate vacations - we're doing everything we can to keep our marriage together.

What a dog I got, his favorite bone is in my arm.

What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bee and he told me about the butcher and my wife.

When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.

When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.

With me, nothing goes right. My psychiatrist said my wife and I should have sex every night. Now, we'll never see each other!

With my wife I don't get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to 'the best woman a man ever had.' The waiter joined me.

Yeah, I know I'm ugly... I said to a bartender, 'Make me a zombie.' He said 'God beat me to it.'

The Animals


All right, the Natural Bridge Wildlife Park isn't just for rabbits or even kids for that matter, but for all of us. Here's a few snapshots from our recent trip to see Alyssa's true relatives...
If you haven't been, take the 2 hour trip to New Braunfels and take the short tour of the Wildlife Park. It's amazing to see how close the "wild animals" come up to your car if you have some thing to feed them.

Serenade


"If I said goodbye to you tonight, there would still be music left to write..." OK, maybe that's not the song they sang or even the artist they choose to copy, but Julia tried and I guess that's what's important. No, it wasn't Billy Joel, but at least it didn't hurt my ears like Celion Dion. The point it that Julia tried to join the mariache band and do her own rendition of La Cucharacha (or however you spell it) and did a great job!

Julia has always been a showman (or showgirl) as is probably more accutately titled. Julia loves the limelight! She loves to be the center of attention (unlike myself). She craves attention and hopped up the second the mariache band offered to sing a song for $10 to our table, that I couldn't resist. How could I not let her showcase her skills even though it might set us back and force us to eat Taco Bell the rest of the trip :) OK, not really, but as much as Julia craves the spotlight Alyssa and myself shy away from it. I'm perfectly comfortable not being noticed in a room of 50-100 people and neither is Lys, but I wasn't going to hold her back, so.. she made the show. Besides, I've got to encourage her, as she is in the dual language program in school.

Kudos to our very own Selina, I mean Julia. Cheers J!

Family Vacation


We got an opportunity to get out of town for a few days last month and take our first "2/3 family vacation". I call it 2/3 since Hunter and Palmer stayed with their grandparents. We took over 100 photos on our 3 day trip so I'll break it up into a few posts since it takes so long to download the photos onto this blog page.
Here's the first stop! The Snake Farm...
The Snake Farm is a hole in the wall stop on the side of I-35 on around New Braunsfels. It's got hundreds of exotic animals, but it's primary focus is on snakes. Because Alyssa is so in tune with the animals we thought we'd start our trip off right by taking a tour of the Snake Farm. Right off the bat we were excited to find out that there were two new baby lemurs on display. They even let you pet the lemurs and Julia and Alyssa got a special treat of having one climb on their shoulders and head. The average person may not know too much about lemurs, but for Alyssa this was kind of like the holy grail. Alyssa enjoys all animals but is especially partial to lemurs (due to the children's show Zoobamafoo where they became her favorite animal). Alyssa "the lemur girl" at the Snake Farm in New Braunsfels with a baby lemur pirched atop her head.

The same lemur just seconds before it bit Julia.
Alyssa really knows the different animals and told us the names of two that neithe Lisa or myself even knew their names. The first was a capuchin (a type of small monkey) the second was a capybara (the world's largest rodent). Sometimes I'm concerned that maybe she watches too much TV, but apparently some of the educational TV is sinking in.
